About Cowichan Bay
Cowichan Bay is a historic maritime village set within a sheltered estuarine environment where the Cowichan River meets the Salish Sea. Ocean activity focuses on wooden boat building, sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, whale watching, and crabbing from local docks. The mudflats and salt marshes host rich birdlife and intertidal estuarine species. Consulting tide charts is crucial for watercraft users in Cowichan Bay: low tide exposes extensive river mudflats and shallow estuary shoals that restrict kayak and boat navigation, while high tide brings deep water right up to the historic stilted buildings lining the waterfront.
